Like the short radio waves (about 80 megacycles) now used for television, microwaves (over 300 megacycles) cannot be sent beyond the horizon. But Raytheon's engineers say that microwaves have two advantages for transmitting pictures: 1) they can be relayed more easily, by means of automatic pickup and amplifying stations in towers about 30 miles apart, and 2) they can carry a picture on a narrower band in the spectrum, thus providing a great many more channels for transmission...
